Q: BootCamp MacBook Pro early 2015 ATI R9 M370x

Has BootCamp 5.1.5918 been updated for MacBook Pro early 2015 ATI R9 M370x GPU for Windows 8.1? If not, then is this AMD's responsibility?

The GPU is appearing as Radeon HD 8800M in windows with a driver from July 2014.

I read your thread suggestion. I recreated the BootCamp Assistant USB installer Apple Support files (drivers) for Windows and ran it again in Windows in the default "repair" mode. A few screen flashes, then black screen which was resolved by turning up brightness function key, then a reboot of Windows 8.1 and now all is good. M370X now recognized as the GPU. Thanks.
